4. How Do I Get the Most to Fix My Vehicle?

It is really simply. All you need to do is have an insurance appraiser examine your vehicle at the auto body shop with your auto repairman present. Your repairman should discuss your property damage claim with the claims adjustor directly. He is the best person to negotiate the value of your property damage claim because he will be the person fixing your vehicle. Read more.

5. Do I Really Need to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

It’s recommended that you don’t contact the other driver’s insurance company on your own without help from an experienced car accident lawyer. If you do decide to contact them, be careful what you say as they will try to use any incriminating statements against you. We advise against you signing any papers until you know you are fully recovered. We recommend you get your medical records on your own and send them to the adjuster. Most importantly, make sure not to agree to any settlement offers until your doctor releases you from treatment and you know you are fully recovered. Read more.
